This picture of the 3 queen cells is one that I found in my overwintered colony. When I saw this, I made a nuc with the colony, moving the queen and some capped brood to the new nuc. This nuc is building very nicely. I allowed the bees to continue to raise their queen. Upon my last look at the overwintered colony, the queen was indeed mated and she was laying eggs like crazy. I expect some pretty good build up with this little nuc in 6 weeks or so. Yeah!!! Have a wonderful day, great life. Cindi
